Local police are searching for suspects who reportedly assaulted a man from behind early Thanksgiving Day.

Waite Park Police Chief David Bentrud says officers went to St. Cloud Hospital to meet with a 21-year-old man who had received significant facial injuries.

The man said he had been walking in the ditch near Mills Fleet Farm around 1 a.m. on November 23 when he heard someone walking up behind him. He turned around and was assaulted, but nothing was taken from him.

There is an active investigation. The suspects are described as two men of average build. One is about five foot nine inches and the other is about six feet tall.
